The goal is to have just enough mana all the time to inflict burning damage on enemies with Firewall while making them vulnerable and freezing them in a place with Frost Nova to deal devastating damage over time.
Teleport can help you avoid most attacks while also preventing CC. On the other hand, Ice Armor and Flame Shield will ensure you don’t get trampled by Elites and Bosses, especially in Helltides and Nightmare Dungeons.
